Ancient Elf

Ancient Elves is more a term given to the elves that where brought to this world from another giving them magic before magic existed. However their magic dwindled over time as until the time of magic they could not replenishes their supplies. However after so long the 'Ancient Elves' created the forest of the ancients where they used the rest of their magic to become trees. Not all took this path.
